阿克拉酒店的評論

The good: the bed is comfortable, the air conditioning works, and the room is a decent size. Also, it’s relatively close to Aya Sofya. I checked in early in the day and was pleased that my room was ready so that I could drop my luggage in the room and head out. And the young man at the front desk who fixed the air conditioning in my room has been very helpful. The bad: Oh, where to start. The lighting is only good if you like living in a dark cave. The light fixtures have these tiny little flame type bulbs in them that are about five watts each. The hotel doesn’t have a spare lamp I can use. If you like to read in the evening at all - forget it. And the room I’m in is noisy - right across the alley from a restaurant that has loud music and shouting patrons at night. Housekeeping apparently thinks you get one water, one extra roll of toilet paper, and two teabags when you check in. If you drink all the water, they don’t replace it, and if you start on the spare roll of TP, too bad - that doesn’t appear to get replaced either, nor does that tea bag you used. The older man at the front desk was not pleased when I asked for more water after returning from a long day of sightseeing on my second day to find no water bottles had been left in my room. The door to the bathroom doesn’t stay open on its own so they prop it open with a trash can. The bathroom sink doesn’t have a stopper in the drain so if you drop something in the sink you will probably need to have the drainpipe taken apart to retrieve it. There is a couch in the room and I won’t go near it: it is dirty, obviously stained, and has a big hole in one arm. Who knows what lurks within. The room would be better without it but you have to sit there if you want to watch tv. I am stuck here for two more nights of unpleasantness. I’m going to try to find brighter bulbs tomorrow so that I can read, but I wonder if I’m supposed to buy the additional water and TP myself (Update: day 2 without more bottled water in my room so I just gave up and bought some). I’ve spent the last two weeks in Turkey and have stayed in at least 8 other hotels while on a tour. This hotel has been the most disappointing. The sad part is that with attention to detail, better housekeeping, and a greater willingness to please their customers, it could be so much better.
